It might be a little more clear if we just refer to them as Smashed Baby Potatoes…because that’s exactly what they are! While you can make smashed potatoes with any size or type of potato, I like using baby potatoes. I think they’re the perfect size! We smash them up just enough to make them flat, but not enough to make them mashed.

It creates a potato dish that’s mashed on the inside, but still crispy on the outside. Everything stays intact so you could pick them up and eat them one by one like fries. But they definitely look more like smashed baked potatoes.

All I know is that this smashed potatoes recipe is absolutely delicious!
